GENERAL RosSER, we'll known,
throughout the country, as a leading
Democrat was recently interviewed
by a Washington reporter and made
some startling predictions. lie was
one of the brayest officers in the
southern army during the war and af-
ter its close came north. In speaking
of the Interstate commerce law he
said: ~ think that the law will be re.
pealed as soon rs congress meets, OR
at least a pretty large share of it. The
half month since it went into effect
has demonstrated that it is not the
thing. The long and short haul clause
is playing havoc with the business Of
the country generally, and with that
of the railroad lines in particular.
The fact is, competition is a greater
equalizer and a more proper and just
rate adjuster than a commission or a
law can be-" When asked his opin.
ion about the political outlook for his
party he said: Il am satisfied that we
stand no chance of winning the next
presidential fight. We have lost the
solid south, and we cannot retain New
York. This, with the uncertainty of
the labor vote, or rather the certainty
of the labor vote, has beaten us al
ready. Virginia and North Carolina
are republican now, sure. They will
give republican electors for the next
presidential candidate. Possibly Ten.
nessee may, too, though l am not so
familiar with the situation there. I
know what l am talking about. how.
ever, when l speak Of Virginia and
North Carolina, for l am a Virginian
and we'll acquainted in North Carroll
ma. The failure of congress to do
anything for the country has caused
the change insentiment. 1t failed to
give anything out of the full treasury
for the public schools, and when it
did pass a river and harbor bill which
gave the south some pickings, the
president refused to sign it. The PEG.
pie of the south are very much dissat.
isfed with the course of matters here,
and we are going to lose at least two
of the southern states" General
Rosser thinks that the republican con
yention will nominate John Sherman
for their candidate and elect him.
